Both were great so I look forward to getting to Salvation of a Saint and Naoko.<br />I like it how Higashino seems to work backwards - in the two I have read we know who the culprit is but the intrigue is working backwards to find the motive.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2141183946001080597.post-84904488195208886412014-09-13T15:55:52.825+10:002014-09-13T15:55:52.825+10:00Have you finished the Murakami yet??

I've just started it, maybe I will jump on board!<br /><br />I also got the stickers - maybe the stickers were the consolation prize for Brits & Aussies for getting a book with the word 'colorless' on the cover.<br /><br />I've seen pics on instagram where people have decorated their covers. But nerdy, book girl that I am, I'm saving mine, & as I read a section that matches a sticker, I find a spot on the page for it :-)Bronahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11110584237325026052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2141183946001080597.post-67832350127588934062014-08-21T07:14:53.023+10:002014-08-21T07:14:53.023+10:00I cannot delete my duplicate comment - sorry.I cannot delete my duplicate comment - sorry.Vagabondehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10774109692564954568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2141183946001080597.post-85597036709313705882014-08-21T07:13:20.572+10:002014-08-21T07:13:20.572+10:00I know little about Japanese literature.

Its terrific! As for the UK version of the Murakami book, I hear it comes with stickers. The US one didn't - which was disappointing. As for the Higashino book you mentioned - sounds like such a great read! Looking forward to your reads for the JLC8 :)Nadiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14315207186180201488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2141183946001080597.post-74290548804565741932014-08-17T07:07:12.907+10:002014-08-17T07:07:12.907+10:00I assume your little surprise was a sheet of stick...I assume your little surprise was a sheet of stickers; I hear those are included in the UK editions, but sadly, not the American ones. Sigh and grunt of displeasure. Only to be exceeded by the fact that my edition has not yet arrived from amazon,com when it was pre-ordered in December! <br /><br />As to the format of the read along, I suppose I should talk about that on Sunday Salon. I guess I thought we'd read it at our own pace and discuss the questions out forth by Random house on September 12. The questions that people want to address, anyway.<br /><br />I love Higashino's work. Can't wait to read Salvation of a Saint myself.
